Wu it N 'WW Wag Home Economics Classes Undergo Minimal Change This year the Home Economics Depart- ment remained about the same as last year. The department enrolled approximately the same amount of students. The ratio of girls to boys enrolled in the department remained stable as well. All but one of the teachers remained in the faculty. Mrs. N. Bavisotto temporarily left the department on a maternity leave. The depart- ment made its periodic purchase of replacement items such as washers, driers, and sewing machines to ensure maximum performance dur- ing the year. Mr. E. Ludwig, Practical Arts Divi- sion head, reasoned, We made no other changes because we were satisfied with the materials that were used last year. 'EQSNCSER - J' H .M CW ivr- ..,. W' W' , M...

Industrial Arts Prepares Students for Vocations By adding courses in architectural render- ing and modelbuilding, cooperative education, and vocational food service, the Industrial Arts curriculum expanded. Morton East previously offered vocational food service, but this marked the first year that West has offered it. Students, however, took the two-hour course at the East building. Mr. J. Hamilton, teacher of architec- tural rendering and modelbuilding, claimed that the class's aim was to help students to prepare for the career of their choice from architecture to carpentry. In cooperative education, students took jobs related to the course. The students split their school day between school work and on-the-job training. The department purchased an offset press for use in the graphic arts program. In his electricity class, Robert Ryan tabove, leftj ex- periments with the voltage of a homemade battery. George Rezabek Qleftj waits for Andy Miculinich to finish using the sander so he can finish his project. In their vocational drafting class, Dave Bell and Jim Bailey Qaboveb work on constructing a model house.
